ecmp load-balance diffluence
Function
The ecmp load-balance diffluence command configures ECMP-based distribution of packets with the same source address and destination address.
The undo ecmp load-balance diffluence command cancels ECMP-based distribution of packets with the same source address and destination address.
By default, ECMP-based distribution of packets with the same source address and destination address is not configured.
Only the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-HI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support this command.
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In addition to analyzing the unidirectional traffic of the two communication parties, a packet analysis device needs to analyze traffic between the two communication parties so that the traffic information can be fully analyzed. In this case, the packets of the two communication parties need to be distributed to the same traffic distribution server. The traffic distribution device is required to support the algorithm based on the same source and destination in the specific forwarding procedure. Identical source and destination indicates that bidirectional data packets of a network connection must be sent out from the same outbound interface. To configure ECMP-based traffic distribution of packets with the same source addresses and destination addresses, run the ecmp load-balance diffluence command.
Precautions
This function may cause uneven load balancing among IPv4 and IPv6 routes.
